Two Nagad employees win South Asian BFSI Tech awards

Two employees of Nagad Ltd, a leading MFS provider in Bangladesh, have scooped prestigious awards at the ‘South Asian BFSI Tech Summit’ held in Nepal recently.

Deputy PM and Home Minister of Nepal Narayan Kaji Shrestha handed the awards to 46 people, including the two Nagad employees, from six South Asian countries, according to a press statement.

Shahriar Ibne Zaman, chief programme officer at Nagad Ltd, got the ‘Digital Transformation & Innovation’ award.

At the same time, KM Monsurul Aziz, head of Marketing Strategy and Planning at Nagad Ltd, was conferred with the ‘PR and Marketing Communications Professional of the Year’ award. Both of them grabbed the feat in the ‘Rising Star’ category.

The South Asian BFSI Tech Summit & Awards, which for the first time took place in Kathmandu from February 29 to March 1, 2024, brought together more than 250 participants, such as industry leaders, policymakers, and influencers from the banking sectors of six SAARC regions – India, Bangladesh, Maldives, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal – under one roof to award top innovations and technology in the BFSI and IT sector across all these countries.

There were more than 10 sessions where over 40 speakers shared their thoughts at the summit, the statement says.

Shahriar Ibne Zaman, chief programme officer at Nagad Ltd, said, “Winning any award is always a matter of happiness. I truly feel honoured as this recognition bears testimony to what little I could do for my company regarding digital transformation and innovations.”

Talking about his winning of the award, KM Monsurul Aziz, head of Marketing Strategy and Planning at Nagad Ltd, said, “I feel honoured to have achieved this recognition for my contributions to marketing communications at Nagad last year. This achievement mirrors the constant growth that Nagad is now experiencing.”
